Best and final offers taking place.

Description
Lower Farm is situated just outside the tranquil village of Harkstead, in a sought after part of the Shotley Peninsula.

The property itself dates back to the mid 1800s and sits centrally within its plot of 0.3 acres and is surrounded by lawned gardens. Typical of this period the rooms have high ceilings and well proportioned rooms. The ground floor offers a sitting room, dining room, kitchen and bathroom, while a wide staircase rises to the first floor where there are three double bedrooms. The property now requires significant renovation and offers an excellent opportunity to restore a handsome period home in a sought after rural setting.

Adjacent to the property is a 1.1 acre field, which could be purchased via separate negotiation.

Location
The village has a popular public house, an active village hall, church and regular farmers market. The nearby larger village of Holbrook offers good daily facilities with a primary and secondary school, doctor's surgery, pubs and shops. The former Victorian village school is located close to the Stour estuary and within easy reach of Harkstead beach and close to moorings in Holbrook Creek. The sought after hamlet of Pin Mill is close by on the estuary of the River Orwell and further water sports are located at The Royal Harwich Yacht Club at Woolverstone and Alton Water which is also in close proximity to Harkstead. Private schooling is well catered for with Ipswich High School for girls at Woolverstone and the Royal Hospital School on the outskirts of Holbrook. A commuter can take advantage of both Manningtree and Ipswich main line stations, the journeys taking 60 and 65 minutes respectively to London's Liverpool Street Station. There is regular public transport to Ipswich and other parts of the peninsular.
